Headliners 2015

[stuartbert two hats]

Not really but where would you put them? 3rd on Pyramid?

Yeah, the Elvis Costello slot. Maybe sub at a push.

[kingcrawler]

Alt-J are seemingly being held back because of lattitude for R&L... so it's not unheard of.

But.. I highly doubt it but at this stage you can't rule out the possibility with emily saying they wait for shows to sell out before announcing headliners.

That's a bit different since it's two festival republic festivals though. It's not going to be Noel, he's ruled it out enough times now

[Little Andy]

Tom Petty? ( not that I would want him myself)

[pedmills]

Guys...remember what happened last time...

That would suit (kind of) solo, probably an act they've been after for a long time, but 'massive'?

Yeah, I don't know. To me they are pretty massive - but perhaps not everyone, though I think a lot of people would be surprised how many big hits they have.

could be, tho that doesn't really fit the "been after for years" bit, as Glasto are unlikely to have been chasing an act that wasn't performing.

Yeah, I'm thinking more that they potentially could have been pursuing them many moons ago.

unlikly though it would be, it is a fact the members of the original lineup have been working together http://loudwire.com/former-guns-n-roses-duff-mckagan-izzy-stradlin-new-song/

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/former_guns_n_roses_members_reunite_onstage.html

duff even joined guns and roses as they are now for some south american dates http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/duff-mckagan-recalls-reuniting-with-axl-rose-in-how-to-be-a-man-and-other-illusions-book/

the big sticking point as ever would be slash/axel or though slash`s langage has got a lot less hostile to the idea as of late http://www.sundayworld.com/entertainment/music/slash-positive-about-guns-n-roses-reunion

even if not for glasto, I can see it happening within a couple of years.

I can safely say their performance at Download 2006 was the single most embarrassing performance I have ever witnessed. And I've seen Whimwise in the green futures...

Strangely that gig followed one of the best performances I've seen in the prodigy destroying the second stage that year.

Does anyone actually care about GnR these days? Can't imagine anyone being able to even muster a solitary shit about a reunion on these shores. If they were to get together with the original line up and head over to the UK I would think they would do their own shows, make some decent coin and then give it up again. No festival in their right mind should be going anywhere near them really.

Original/classic GnR will have a lot of people excited when it happens. Glastonbury however would never be able to afford it.

[ghostdancer1]

Are ELO headliner "size"

absolutely not.

i feel like i'm in some parallel universe where people actually think they might even have a chance.

Would love to see Santana at G.

Always thought headlining Jazzworld was his destiny but as it is now West Holts.... we shall stick with West Holts

[Jpw48]

That Joiners announcement for the Glasto warmup slot will be announced at 9am tomorrow - just had a reply from them on twitter about it. Trying to see if it's someone who's been previously announced or not but doubt they'll answer!

you saw axel+friends....its not guns and roses with only one original member no matter what the banner says.

Axel Roses killed Guns N Roses by himself, I'm pretty sure his ego killed him just before he did the two R&L shows and Download which were all disasters

However I do agree, it's not really Guns N Roses, but the real Guns N Roses will probably end up like The Smiths

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Thankfully for us all, if they were to ever reunite in their original form they would do their own shows.

[Djb.com]

seen a few live vids of the so called `guns and roses` spoken of......all it is is axel and a few hired hands with no heart or passion in it from any of them.......a proper reunion would be a whole different ballgame

True

Even still, It wouldn't be Glastonbury that would be trying to book them

A fair point. Although Izzy came on and did a couple he simply could not save that car crash of a performance. He went a long way to completely destroying the legacy of GnR that year.

I learned my lesson after that. I was at Reading 2010 and due to this experience I opted safely for LCD Soundsystem who smashed it. they finished just in time for me to catch Axls pathetic attempts at doing doing a cappella version of paradise city through a Megaphone. I laughed. Others I knew who endure the set did not.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Yeah I was trying to think who would try and get them? R&L would surely be the obvious choice, but after the last time I'm not sure they would fancy it, could Download afford them? Some kind of Sonisphere exclusive and they take them around Europe as their chief headliner?

[DMCJ2]

Justin Timberlake perhaps?

Still think it'll be Prince or Madonna..

Agreed. Saw " them " at Leeds in 2010. Booed on ( for being late ) and booed off for blaming the organisers for having to go off. In fairness Rose still sounded okish but I wish I had never seen them. Made the same mistake with the Sex Pistols at Loch Lomond. Some things best left alone.

Saw them at Leeds 02 when they had Buckethead and they were just terrible. Kept everyone waiting for an hour and a half before coming on too.

[surreysupermum]

Cake..cake if its Bowie ill even buy a round for the first 10 of us on Wednesday if there is an Efesters meet that day or whatever day it is .

[Comfy Bean]

If we're opening it up to the fairer gender, Madge, Kate Bush, Rihanna, Kylie (!!) all fit in...

and Cher....don`t forget Cher.
